The UK is at less risk from Russia than most other nations in the continent - plus, with a decent navy and nuclear weapons, we can just sit out the next European war if we choose to. With the current attitude eminating from the EU that feels like an attractive proposition.

As long as the UK can sit out any European war. We might even want to sign a non agression pact with Russia to ensure further safety.

For a guarantee that it won't get involved in any EU-Russian conflict.

The UK doesn't have to defend the EU - it is a long way from Russia, is an island nation and has a nuclear deterrent. It could quite happily be neutral and sit on its island or it could even sign a pact with Russia.

If you surrender and regain multiple times you need more of a reason.

So spending a few months each year for 5 years would be enough.

Ireland sucks generally but it is the easiest. You don't really even have to live there to do it. If you rent somewhere small and pay your tax there there are no checks about what time you actually spend there as long as you exit through NI

Most EU countries have terrible citizenship policies and treat you badly if you're not a citizen.

You can reclaim British citizenship once if you follow this process.

So no having to declare you wish to keep Irish citizenship every year. They will not be able to remove it as you'd be stateless

If you do 5 years you get Irish citizenship- if you then surrender British then they cannot take it off you whatever you do.

If anyone wants FOM back they need to get it back themselves. Emigrating to Ireland and then surrendering your UK citizenship being the obvious and quickest route.

I think it is extremely obvious that they won't do anything - and frankly given how divisive this whole thing is and the other challenges in the world (including reform) that is probably the right decision. What we need to do now is prioritise improving this country.

The world is so hard for young people I don't think many have the optimism left to expect positive change. My 11 year old nephew is already somewhat disillusioned with his future due to climate change.

I think the best idea is to withhold things the EU want - like access to water resources or military assistance until they grow up

I think we need a referendum - maybe we can require 80% - on whether the UK should assist the EU if their sovereignty is threatened by Russia.

There should also be variance in visa prices and naturalisation requirements depending on nationality - e.g. the Spanish should pay more and take longer
